Wildcard entry Jawand Nga Chun, a climbing arborist with Treescape in Auckland, went through to the Masters Challenge in the NZ NTCC after a frantic start. Jawand had trouble with a jammed hex screw on a D-shackle pulley he planned to use as part of his equipment for the (rather difficult) aerial rescue. Johno Smith helped out and together they managed to release the screw in time for the walk around.
Below is a short video of Jawand in action. Unfortunately Treetools ran out of storage space in the camera before the Jawand completed the climb but itwill give you a taste of his ability. Zane Wedding and Johno Smith, fellow climbers from Auckland, can be heard in the background offering plenty of vocalsupport and encouragement!
